[Verse 1] In a dark room, a man sits patiently at a desk Dressed real sharp, as if cashing a check His head is a clock ticking a tune What’s he want? He’s come for you! [Chorus] The Ticking Man has come, he’s watching your time! Every breath you take he’s counting the line! You can’t outrun! You can’t rewind! Tick tock, Tick tock, it’s time to go! [Verse 2] Quietly sitting without a word An invisible smile can be inferred He’s got gears for thoughts and a heart of steel What he sees in you, He’ll not easily reveal! [Chorus] The Ticking Man has come, he’s watching your time! Every breath you take he’s counting the line! You can’t outrun! You can’t rewind! Tick tock, Tick tock, it’s time to go! [Bridge] The Ticking Man is counting every word you say He’s starts speeding up his hands to end your days He’s not here to warn! He’s not here to care! The time you waste is his to spare! (He’s not your friend! You must get away!) [Verse 3] Your minutes, Your seconds, Your time’s not your own Under his gaze you’re a wrist watch that he’s sewn You blink once, then twice, an hour’s gone! His gears don’t stop for anyone! [Chorus] The Ticking Man has come, he’s watching your time! Every breath you take he’s counting the line! You can’t outrun! You can’t rewind! Tick tock, Tick tock, it’s time to go! [Verse 4] The hands tick by on his golden dial He muses about your unbeatable trial You try to run but you stare at his face! A temporal prison you can’t escape! [Chorus] The Ticking Man has come, he’s watching your time! Every breath you take he’s counting the line! You can’t outrun! You can’t rewind! Tick tock, Tick tock, it’s time to go! [Outro] Your heartbeat’s syncing to his tune Ticking down to your own doom You try to resist! You try to fight! The battle’s over! The clock strikes midnight!
